‘Lest We Forget’ | Exhibition at Warehouse421

Lest We Forget | An Exhibition at Warehouse421 | 4 February 2017 – 27 August 2017

This unmissable exhibition explores ‘tangible,’ lasting forms of Emirati adornment, including garments, burga, jewelry, weapons and attributes. It also embraces invisible aspects of adornment: the innate knowledge and skills needed to create evanescent adornment through the application of henna, kohl and fragrance, as well as through grooming and hairstyles. Emirati adornment, in all its complexity and beauty, is revealed through personal examples with insights offered by Emirati people. The highly interactive art exhibition welcomes visitor contribution of objects, memories and reflections pertaining to Emirati adornment.
